Sadly there's not Full Scottish Breakfast today, since I am not in Maryland!

In the meantime take a listen to the new single 'Nine Lives' from Primes. I've not yet featured this band on the show yet, but definitely one to look out for in the future!

Or have a listen to the new release from Dunfermline band Moonlight Zoo - 'Survive' who have made it to the final three of the Hard Rock Battle Of The Bands and will be performing tonight at the Paramount Theater in NYC! Wishing them the best of luck!

Today? On Friday?You heard that right! Full Scottish Breakfast moves to Fridays at 5pm for the WMUC summer season. Tune in at www.wmuc.umd.edu for your weekly fill of Scottish music!(and yes it can still be breakfast at 5pm!)

It's been a while since I posted a blog on the website, but you can be on the look out for a lot more content coming up over the summer. I'm here today to provide an update on a number of Scottish artists that are going to be touring the US this summer!

Lewis Capaldi

Lewis Capaldi has taken the UK by storm in the last year - from 'Someone You Loved' taking the number one spot in the UK official chart to having the fastest selling album of 2019 so far. His incredible voice is not something to be missed (along with his amazing instagram stories). He kicks of his US tour next week and, with a break for his summer sessions in Edinburgh, will be here until October.

Skerryvore

The Scottish celtic rock band from the islands of Scotland will be coming to the US later this year on the back of a UK tour. The band will be in US and Canada this summer, for some festivals before returning in the early fall with a more extensive list of cities

CHVRCHES

Catholic Action and We Were Promised Jetpacks

The Edinburgh indie band We Were Promised Jetpacks (which I think is the best band name I've ever heard) will in the US be tour with the Glasgow rock band Catholic Action from the beginning of June, with their penultimate gig in DC at the end of July

Daniel Sloss

On the stand-up comedian scene, Daniel Sloss has shot to fame in recent years - with two Netflix specials available (which I highly recommend!). He will be returning to the US with his unique style of stand-up from mid-June with a two week stint at the Soho Playhouse in New York City. He'll continue around the US until beginning of August - the closest to DC being a show in Philadelphia.

It's been a little while since I posted here, as I've been working on updating the website! I hope you like the updated design - I think it should be a little easier to navigate.

A change I will point out is that the latest show can now always be accessed right from the top bar - you no longer have to wait for me to upload it! Well...almost always - you won't be able to access from that link from midnight on Saturday until the show starts later in the morning. Older shows (from season 3 onwards) are still available, now under the archives tab at the top of the page.

I'm still working on a good way to document playlists so stay tuned for that! In the meantime you can check out recent playlists on the WMUC website.

Finally, look out for more blogs and content coming soon! Posts will no longer be tied to a Saturday archive so they'll be a little more sporadic, but still roughly once a week.

As always let me know if you have any comments or suggestions! You can reach me via email at craig@scottishbreakfast.org.
